Here are some free sewing patterns which use less than a metre/yard of fabric. This is part of the Sew Frugal 22 Instagram Challenge, hosted by Sam @Frugalisama and Ruan @theyorkshiresewgirl and this year's challenge is to make a garment in March, using a free pattern and fabric from your stash. Please post your finished makes on 31 March 2022 using the hashtag #SewFrugal22 for a chance to win a prize and please ensure you have a public account in order to be entered.
